It’s a snowy commute this morning. That means you’ll be sharing the road with Connecticut Department of Transportation crews, plowing and treating the roads.
In many ways, the DOT has a series of pretty thankless jobs. I mean, nobody really pays attention to smooth commutes on the roads or rail, but when there are delays, everyone is aggravated. But is our state doing everything it can to improve the quality of our transportation infrastructure? Are the bridges and roads, trains and buses in the best shape they can be?

 
This hour, a chance for you to get answers to your transportation questions from Jim Redeker, Commissioner of the DOT. 

Check out WNPR's live blog of Commissioner Redeker's appearance.

DOT wants your help with their strategic plan. TransformCT.org
